THE LARGEST SKI & SNOWBOARD FESTIVAL FOR WOMEN & GENDER QUEER FOLKS

April 9-11th 2027, sunlight mountain, glenwood springs, co

We're taking over Sunlight Mountain Resort for Buck Wild's 7th annual Boot Tan Fest! You're invited to join us for this empowering, safe, and wildly fun space where women and nonbinary folks come together to celebrate their love for the mountains.

WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

COMMUNITY

At its core, Boot Tan Fest is about fostering a fearless, fun-loving community where women and nonbinary folks lift each other up. BTF is packed with opportunities to push your boundaries, try something new, and embrace your most authentic self—on the mountain and off.

We’re proud to partner with SheJumps, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the participation of women and girls in outdoor activities through community, education, mentorship, and access. 

It feels like a pretty natural match. Boot Tan was born from the belief that doing something a little wild with a bunch of women you just met can turn into something much bigger.

SKIIING & RIDING

Boot Tan Fest happens regardless of the snowpack.

Last year proved it: even when Colorado’s snow disappeared, hundreds of women still showed up. Because Boot Tan has always been about more than skiing—it’s a celebration of womanhood in the mountains, friendship, freedom, chaos, music, creativity, and finding your people.

If the lifts are spinning, we’ll ski and ride until our legs feel like jelly. If they aren’t, we’ll find plenty of other ways to celebrate.

Snow is a bonus, the party is not.

VENDOR VILLAGE

Shop women-owned and women-led brands at our Vendor Village! From our badass sponsors to local ceramicists, hat makers, painters, and more. This is your chance to support the women shaking up the outdoor world. And yep, the tattoo booth is back this year! So grab a mug of Buck Wild Coffee, take a stroll, and treat yourself to some one-of-a-kind finds

LIVE MUSIC & Fashion show

We like our mountain parties loud, weird, wildly talented, and a little unexpected.

Boot Tan Fest brings live music, women performers, DJs, and plenty of opportunities to get on stage—including Boot Tans Got Talent and our legendary fashion show.

The 2027 lineup is still under wraps, but expect big energy, big personalities, and a whole lot of reasons to dance.

Come for the skiing. Stay for the show.

CAMPING

Get ready to channel your inner mountain woman, because camping in a ski resort parking lot has never been this epic! Let’s be real—camping is low-key the best part of Boot Tan Fest. It’s where we gather around (probably a propane stove), jam to live music, cook up something questionable, and dance under the stars (or the glow of your car’s headlights). Camping is included this year, so rally your camper, minivan, Subaru, or trusty truck, bundle up for a cold one, and convince your friends that type-two fun is where legends are made. And yes, the tailgate competition is on, so pack your disco balls and hot dogs—we’re going for gold!

GIVEAWAYS & MORE

We’ve got swag from our Sponsors, Stio, Buck Wild Coffee, Mad Hippie and more. One year, we tossed hundreds of vibrators into the crowd (yes, really), so who knows what wild surprises we’ve got in store this year? Buckle up, because our raffles are about to get legendary—and you won’t want to miss out on the loot!
